Witness appeal after security guard dies in M4 crash

POLICE have appealed for witnesses after a crash on the M4 near Heathrow in which a security guard died.

Jamal Mahamaud was pronounced dead at the scene of crash, between junctions two and three westbound, on Friday September 30, at about 9.50pm.

A black Vauxhall Corsa, being driven by the 25-year-old, was in collision with a silver Peugeot 307, understood to be travelling in the same direction on the motorway. The other vehicle received minor damage and the driver, a 22-year-old woman, was unhurt. There have been no arrests.

A post-mortem last Tuesday (October 4) at Fulham Mortuary gave the cause of death as severe head and neck injuries.

DC Phil Haffenden, of the Met's road death investigation unit, said: "I am appealing to any drivers who may have been on the same stretch of motorway at the time of the collision.

"It happened at a point where the road bends to the left, just before the service station. I believe that there would have been a number of drivers heading out of London or travelling towards Heathrow who may have seen the incident and I advise them to come forward and speak to us."

Anyone with information is asked to call the incident room on 020 8941 9011, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
